Art sourced, framed and visualised for your project
Curated to a brief, a theme and a budget. Hand-framed in the UK. Shown to your client on their own wall before anyone commits.
Key answer
TheArtFolio sources, frames and supplies original artwork for interior design and hospitality projects across the UK. We curate to your brief — theme, palette, budget and building type — hand-frame every piece to order, and give you framed previews your client can see before anything is committed. Projects run from a single room to a multi-site rollout. Send a brief or request a call and we will come back with a shortlist.
What we do
Curate to the brief
You tell us the theme, the palette, the building and the budget. We come back with a shortlist drawn from 1,233 works by 307 independent artists — not a catalogue dump, a selection with reasons attached.
Frame to specification
Every piece is hand-framed in the UK to order. Four mouldings, mount options, and consistent specification across a whole project so forty rooms match.
Visualise before you commit
Share a board with your client showing each work framed, at true scale, on a photograph of the actual wall. They see the finished thing. You keep your pricing to yourself.
Deliver to site
Made to order and delivered across the UK, to your studio, the client or straight to site.
Your client sees it before anyone commits
Most art suppliers send a catalogue. Most consultancies send a PDF. Neither shows the end client what the piece will actually look like on their wall.
Every work on TheArtFolio renders live in your chosen frame and mount, at its true framed size. A diptych is 118 cm wide framed; a triptych is 172 cm. Those are measured figures, not estimates, and the preview reflects them.
You can photograph the real wall and place the work on it, save a set to a board, and send the client a single link. They see the works and the framing. They do not see your margin.
How it works
-
1 · Send a brief, or ask for a call
The form below takes a few minutes. If you would rather talk it through first, choose that option and we will ring you.
-
2 · We come back with a shortlist
Usually within two working days. Works selected against your theme, palette and budget, with framing suggested per piece and per room.
-
3 · You present it
We set up a shareable board so your client sees each work framed at true scale. Revise it as often as you need.
-
4 · We make and deliver
Once specification is signed off: 3–5 working days to print and frame, 2–3 days tracked courier. Larger projects are scheduled and phased to your programme.
Scale, lead times and pricing
| Project | Typical scale | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Single room or feature wall | 1–5 pieces | 5–8 business days |
| Residential whole-house | 6–20 pieces | 2–3 weeks |
| Boutique hotel or office floor | 21–50 pieces | 3–5 weeks, phased |
| Multi-site or rollout | 50+ pieces | Scheduled to your programme |
On pricing. We quote per project rather than publishing a trade percentage, because framing specification drives cost more than volume does — the moulding and mount you choose changes the price of a piece more than ordering forty of them. Tell us the budget you are working to and we will tell you honestly what it covers.
Specification
Printed on 250gsm lustre photographic paper with a semi-gloss E-surface — the diffusing finish, which matters in lobbies and corridors where downlights would flare on a gloss stock. Glazed with float glass as standard, 2 mm acrylic on the larger sizes, and non-reflective museum-standard glass on request.
All moulding material carries PEFC chain-of-custody certification (PEFC ST 2002:2020), and every piece is manufactured in the United Kingdom. Specifications, certification references and sample material are available for tender documents — ask.
Security fixtures. Standard framing uses a tensioned string fixture. For public areas, springlock brackets are available on request at additional cost.
Who this suits
A good fit
- Interior designers and architects specifying art as part of a scheme
- Creative and branding agencies fitting out a client space
- Hotels, restaurants and serviced apartments
- Offices, clinics and care settings
- Developers and property staging
- Anyone who wants one supplier across a whole project rather than five
Probably not us
- Original one-off paintings or sculpture — we supply archival prints, hand-framed
- Installation and hanging — we deliver framed and ready, but we do not fit
- Anything needed inside a week at volume
- Delivery outside the United Kingdom
